The disaster in the Gulf is nothing to laugh at. I don't think any of us can possibly wrap our heads around the damage that is actually being caused down there - or what it might mean for our future, our planet & our Ocean. Oh, how we will pay for this one...and the way the people in charge of this have handled it better be a hard lesson for each and every one of us. I hope that out of this we learn to hold big business accountable and start EMBRACING NEW TECHNOLOGY. We know how to make cars that do not depend on oil - we've known for a long time. We know how to make fuel out of grease that is otherwise discarded of and have known for quite awhile. There are TONS of things we could be doing differently, and the only reason we haven't yet is GREED. If you have not yet seen "Who Killed The Electric Car?", then it is time you do. We are the consumer - what we demand we will get. We've really got to pull together more now that we ever have before.

Or visit the site and place your order - I am getting some hair care stuff and maybe even another lipstick. I need the stuff anyways and I always buy earth friendly and I love this company for that. They truly practice what they preach.

As far as the spill goes, we really do need to do something. There are many things that we can do, just start somewhere. Write letters to your congressmen about the importance of new technology. Write letters to the presidents of the car and oil companies. Talk about it with the people in your life. Be aware of what is going on and seek the answers to your questions. In this age of information and technology it seems crazy that we can't easily band together and demand better for our future and the future of our children.
